Mood Disorders Ottawa
MDO is a registered nonprofit, volunteer-run organization
that supports people with mood disorders and their loved ones.
Many of our members use creative arts as a support in their recovery and as an enjoyable hobby.
We are pleased to feature some of this art. Submissions can be sent to our contact email address.
All submissions are reviewed by a panel of MDO members before being posted to the website.
I step from complication through the arch to peace.
I step on twigs, leaves and stones; nature brings me calm.
I step on a carpet of green moss that quiets the world around me.
I step from the fading light into sleep.
The bluesy music echoed in the club,
The couple danced with abandon,
Hips swinging, trumpets crooning,
Whispering in each other's ear,
Joyful faces laughing without restraint,
Oh the wondrous act of flirting.
